College Certificate - Automotive Technician

This program gives students an understanding of the basic purpose, construction, operation, and service of component parts and assemblies of an automobile. Students will develop the knowledge and skills required to disassemble, inspect, diagnose and repair motor vehicle units and components. Students will study internal combustion engines, brakes, steering and suspensions, electrical circuits & wiring, and basic vehicle maintenance.

Most training will take place at RRC Polytech’s auto mechanics workshop, an environment that will give students the practical experience required for industry employment. This is a not an apprenticeship program, but may provide credit transfer opportunities towards apprenticeship.
